High Point vs American Prediction
High Point comes into this matchup looking to start the season with a 5-0 record, and they will have the home-court advantage in this game. The Panthers are scoring nearly 80 points per game and they are shooting 49% from the field. American is just 1-3 to start the season and they are only scoring 60 points per game. The Eagles are shooting the ball just 38.5% from the field and I don’t think they can keep this game close. Take High Point here.
